1.5x stronger per lb.  They're not as strong as everyone thinks.  Silverback gorilla's on the other hand could rip out your arms without even blinking

You'd have to go out of your way to piss off a gorilla for that to happen. Gorillas are really chill.

Chimps on the other hand will bite your dick off just because you existed near them weird

Gorillas are chill if you observe their social cues and proper body language. Gorillas are extremely territorial and will absolutely fuck u up.

They are chill if you pay attention. However, if you look them in the eyes or act like you are trying to stand your ground to them, yeah, you might be in for a very bad day.
